honor, with SO many of your fellow cit

The President VIII Come West.
WASHINGTON, July 25.-The white
house presented an animated scene
this afternoon on the occasion of the
reception of the delegation from Mis-
souri, to invite the president to visit st.
Louis during the state fair in October
next. The delegation numbered nearly
one hundred persons, representing all
the interests of st. Louis, as well as
the principal sections of the state. 1t
was headed by Mayor Francis of st.
Louis. Several ladies also aecompan-
led the party. The president received
them in the library, and shook hands
cordially with each one of them. Mayor
Francis made the presentation, and
when all had been received addressed
the president as follows:
MR.. PRESIDENT: 1t was my fortune,
sixty days ago, accompanied by TWEEN
| ty-five representative citizens of st.
Louis to supplement and earnestly en-
dorse in behalf Of the people of that

ment Of the G.. A. n, to be held in st.

Der next. The success of that mission
in eliciting from you a favorable re-
people of St. Louis and Missouri, but
the disappointment later, consequent
upon your letters of declination, was
| deep and all-prevailing, but co-exten-
/ sive with it was sentiment of sincere
approval of the patriotic motives which
| prompted you to such an action. The
citizens OF st. Louis, irrespective of
party, nationality or race, in mass
meeting assembled the day after your
letters were received, with one voice
| enthusiastically resolved to extend
| to yourself and estimable wife a
1 cordial invitation to visit their city
during the first week of October next,
and instructed their mayor with a
committee of citizens to convey and de-
liver the same in person to you. As
semblages of like character were prin-
cipally held IN almost every county in
the state endorsing and emphasizing
the action taken in st. Louis. Dele
gates were appointed at these meetings
to proceed to the capitol of the natioL
and there to express to the chief execu
tive, in manner as effective as words
and form would permit, the

Could is Well.

NEW YORK, July 25.-Jay Gould is
not i'll as reported. He was too busy
to be seen to-day. His son, George
Gould, said that Mr.. Gould's visit to
the West was merely one of his many
business trips. The question of rail-
road ties was only an incident. 1t was
true that more money had been paid
for those ties than they are worth, but
this was through lack of judgment on
part of the purchasing agent not the
result of criminal collision to defraud.
He said an accurate inventory of the
ties on the system had been made. 1t
was found that the amount paid in
excess of the actual value is not more
than So goo instead of, $40, 600 600, as
stated in the St. Louis despatch yes
terday. Young Mr.. Gould continued
the statement that officers of the road
implicated in the alleged sWindle
have been discharged is utterly false.
The only officer we lost lately is Gen.
eral Superintendent Kerrigan, a
splendid railroader and one with whose
services we disliked very much to part.
His resignation was entirely voluntary
as he left to become a contractor
in which business he thought he could
make money. Young Gould denied
the stories of his fathers illness.

A FOUL MURDER.

NASHVILLE, July 26.-A foul muir
der occurred at Labanon, Tenn, this
morning. Lieutenant K. T. Lane, a
lawyer and one of the most prominent
citizens, was shot and instantly killed
by N. B. Lester. Lanes Office was on
East Main Street about a block from
the Public Square. He had risen this
morning, as was his custom, and was
sitting outside his own door when
Lester came outside, three doors above
with a shot gun. He advanced to
within six steps of where Lane was
sitting and shot him, the
charge taking effect in Lanes left side.
When he received the charge Lane fell
from his chair and said don't shoot
again. Lester stepped up close to Lane,
saying ''g- d. you, I'll kill you" and
emptied the second barrel of the gun
killing Lane instantly. The shooting
was witnessed by several gentlemen.
The cOroner's jury had an inquest,
the verdict being murder in the
first degree. Lester was COM
mitted to jail without bail and
brought to Nashville for safe keeping.
Lester married Mrs Gibson. Gibson
was Knight of Pythias and had 81
900 insurance in that order. The mon
ey was secured to Gibson's children
and Lester could not get hold of it.
Lane was the agent who had the hand
ling of the money. Lester was jealous
of Lane and his wife and had threaten
ed to kill her several times on that ac-
count.
